New paper published in the Proceedings of the Combustion Institute: Flame spread and burning rates through vertical arrays of wooden dowels

September 20, 2018 by admin

Flame spread and burning rates through vertical arrays of wooden dowels   Abstract Fuel loads in real-world fire scenarios often feature discrete elements, discontinuities, or inhomogeneities; however, most models for flame spread only assume a continuous, homogeneous fuel. Because discrete fuels represent a realistic scenario not yet well-modeled, it is of interest to find simple […]

Two new papers on how fires spread in the WUI published in Fire Technology!

May 20, 2016 by admin

How do fires spread into and within wildland-urban interface communities? Two new reviews published in Fire Technology have investigated this topic, breaking down the mechanisms which cause ignition of homes and communities. While radiative heat fluxes and local flame contact contribute to ignition in the WUI, firebrands are a dominant mechanism that is also poorly understood […]

Units being released.

Sounds like early indications show a lithium ion battery responsible. (Scooter battery most likely)
